DC ENERGY METERING

Next-Generation DC Metering for Critical Infrastructure

Direct current (DC) metering is becoming increasingly important as renewable energy, battery storage, EV charging and telecom applications expand across Australia.

Accurate DC metering allows operators to measure, monitor and report energy flows with precision, ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks while improving visibility over system performance. The right DC meter is essential for projects where efficiency, compliance and reliability directly impact return on investment.

SATEC’s DC metering delivers high-accuracy measurement in a compact form, built to handle the demands of modern infrastructure.

Designed for seamless integration into renewable energy projects, battery systems and industrial applications, these meters provide detailed data insights that support both operational decision-making and regulatory reporting. With advanced features, robust design and trusted compliance, SATEC DC meters give operators the confidence that their measurements are always reliable and audit-ready.

High Accuracy:

DC energy data with unmatched precision conforming to multiple standards such as IEC 62053-41, IEC 62052-11, IEC 62052-31 ensuring accurate measurement, safety of DC electricity meters, essential for billing and system monitoring.

Communication:

Built-in port: standard RS-485
Optional ports: Ethernet; 4G Modem; Profibus
